EPECIPICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 378,500, dated February 28,1888.

Application filed November 8, 1887. Serial No. 254,648.

To (tZZ whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, Oscar: LUGENE GAL- LUP, a citizen of the United States, residing at Holton, in the county of Muslccgon and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Stump-Extractors, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to ah improvement in stumpextractors; and it consists in the peculiar construction and combination of devices that will be more fully set forth hereinafter, and particularly pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective View ofa stump-extractor embody ing my improvement. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal sectional View of the same. Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse sectional view of the same. Fig. 4. is a similar View showing the machine adapted for moving houses and other heavy objects. Fig. 5 is a detail view of the sweep-lever.

A represents a pair of parallel sills,from the centers of which project a pair of standards, 13, that are inclined toward each other and have their upper ends connected by a crossbeam, 0.

D represents a series of braces, which have their lower ends attached to the sills A, near the ends of the latter, and the said braces are crossed near their upper ends, and are secured to the outer sides of the standards B by bolts E, which extend through the cross-braces and through the standards, and the extreme upper ends of the braces are notched and fitted against the inner lower corners of arms,which are formed by bifurcating the ends of the beam 0.

F represents a cross-beam, which is arranged at a suitable distance below the beam 0, and has its ends mortised in the standards B. On the sides of the beam F, on the upper side thereof, are boards G.

H represents downwardlyinclined converging hangers, which are secured to the beam.

0 near the ends thereof, and have their lower- (No model.)

arranged in series between the boards G. The beam F is provided near its ends with vertical openings L, which are arranged under the series of pulleys K.

M represents a Windlass, which is j ournaled in a vertical opening in the center of the beam 0, and has its lower end stepped in an opening in the center of the beam F. From one side of the Windlass, at aslight distance above the beam 0, projects an arm, N, the outer end of which is beveled, as shown, and is provided with a projecting tenon, O. The extreme up per end of the windlasshead is beveled at an angle corresponding to that of the outer end of arm N, as at l and from the beveled upper end of the Windlass-head projects a tenon, R.

S represents a sweep beam or lever, which is provided at its upper end with a mortise, T, to receive the tenon R, and is further provided with a mortise, U, to receive the tenon 0. By this means the sweep-lever is attached to the Windlass-head, and the said sweep-lever extends downward and outward therefrom at a suitable inclination, as shown. On the rear side of the sweep lever is a bridge, V.

W represents a trussrod, which has its ends attached to the ends of the sweepiever on the rear side thereof, and the said truss-rod is strung over the bridge V, as shown, thereby effectually bracing the sweeplever. To the lower end of the latter is attached a singletree, X, to which a horse may be hitched in the usual manner. On theinner sides of thestandards B are secured a pair of blocks, Y.

Z represents a pair of pulleys,which are arranged between the lower ends of the said blocks and the opposing sides of the said standards, the said pulleys being journaled on belts or pins which extend transversely through the lower ends of the blocks and through the standards.

A representsa pair of blocks, each of which is provided with three pulleys, B, the said blocks having hooks G on their-lower ends and being connected together by a bar, D.

E represents a chain,which has its ends connected to the hooks O.

F represents a pair of ropes or chains of suitable length, which have their upper ends attached to the beam 0, as shown, extend downward therefrom through the openings in the beam 13, then pass over and connect the pulleys in the blocks A, and the pulleys K and the free ends of the said ropes or chains are attached to the Windlass, as Shown.

The operation of myinvention is as follows: The chain E is attached to the stump to be extracted, theframe being so arranged that the beam F is directly over the said stump, and the sweep-lever is then caused to rotate the Windlass, and thereby coil the ends of the elevating ropes or chains on the said Windlass and raise the blocks A, and consequently draw the stump from the earth, as will be readily understood. The Windlass and the blocks eX- ert a Very powerful leverage on the elevating ropes or chains, as will be very readily understood, and the machine is therefore adapted for extracting stumps of great size and for use in raising or lowering very heavy bodies.

If it be desired to employ the machine for moving houses, the blocks A are discarded, the ropes or chains are unrolled from the pulleys K and B and are disconnected from the beam 0, and are passed each over one of the pulleys K and under one of the pulleys Z, and have their outer ends attached to the house or object to be moved.

Having thus described my invention, I claim- The frame comprising the sills A, the inclined standards B, secured thereto, the beam 0, connecting the upper ends of the said standards, the beam 13, also connecting the standards B and arranged below the sill O, the hangers H, depending from the beam 0 and secured to the beam F, the cross pins or bolts I, connecting the said hangers, the pulleys K, journaled on said cross pins or bolts, in combination with the Windlass journaled in the beam 0 and having its lower end stepped in the beam F, the blocks A, having the pulleys B, and the elevating ropes or chains attached to the beam 0, passed around the pulleys K and B, and having their inner end attached to the Windlass, substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
